Saturday Classes

Summer Saturday stilt classes, held at Amphibian Stage Productions, are from June 30 to August 18, with no class July 28 or August 11. The tuition is $50 for the session and can be split into two payments of $25. All levels will meet at 12 pm on Saturdays. Beginners: 12 to 1 pm. Intermediate: 12 to 1:30 pm. Advanced: 12 to 2 pm.

The Fall classes begin September 8 and run through December 15. There will be no class Saturday, November 24 for Thanksgiving break.

The sessions culminate in a performance showcase for family and friends.

Beginners are encouraged to join class and watch their confidence grow week by week! You will work toward choreography appropriate to your skill level. Advanced stilt-walkers will continue to develop balance and coordination while working toward more advanced choreography.

No previous experience necessary, but must be in good physical condition. Children must be at least 10 years old.
